IN Daniel Defense Presents Home To Combat Veteran Daniel Defense recently presented a combat veteran and his wife, U.S. Army Specialist Justin and Sarah Foley, with a mortgage-free home. The presentation was made at the inaugural Patriot Weekend in Pooler, Ga., in early September. Through the Military Warriors Support Foundation (MWSF), Daniel Defense learned of Specialist Foley, who sustained injuries when the armored vehicle he was in struck an improvised explosive device. “These men and women have heroically given up their bodies in defense of our freedoms. While we can’t give them their health back, we can acknowledge their sacrifice, thank them and their family for their service, and provide spiritual support,” said Marty Daniel, Daniel Defense president and CEO. Specialist Foley is awaiting medical retirement from the Army. “What we want to provide is hope for these warriors and their families. By partnering with great, patriotic companies like Daniel Defense, we are able to put these heroes in a mortgage-free home and help them transition to a successful civilian life,” said MWSF’s Josh Kinser. Daniel Defense was one of the “Signature Sponsors” of Patriot Weekend, which raised $22,500 for the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Steward, Ga. www.danieldefense.com and www.militarywarriors.org (From left), Cindy and Marty Daniel, Daniel Defense; Specialist Justin and Sarah Foley; and Peter Johns, MWSF ambassador. 16 DECEMBER 2013 Subscribe to SI DIGITAL www.shootingindustry.com
